MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Maintenance is very important for keeping your vehicle in safe operating condition.
The vehicle should be serviced as specified in the maintenance schedule.

A repair shop or person of the owner's choosing may maintain, replace, or repair
emission control devices and systems. These instructions do not require compo-
nents or service by BRP or authorized Can-Am dealers. Although an authorized
Can-Am dealer has an in-depth technical knowledge and tools to service the
Can-Am ATV, the emission-related warranty is not conditioned on the use of
an authorized Can-Am dealer or any other establishment with which BRP has a
commercial relationship. For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting
the diagnosis and repair of emission-related parts to the authorized Can-Am
dealers. For more information, please refer to the

US EPA EMISSION-RELATED

WARRANTY

contained herein. Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility.

A warranty claim may be denied if, among other things, the owner or operator
caused the problem through improper maintenance or use.

You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the fueling section of
this manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten volume percent ethanol
is readily available, the US EPA issued a prohibition against the use of gasoline
containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol that applies to this vehicle. The use of
gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol with this engine may harm the
emission control system.

The maintenance schedule does not exempt the pre-ride inspection.

WARNING

Failure to properly maintain the vehicle according to the maintenance
schedule and procedures can make it unsafe to operate.
